Yeah, the reason why we wrote that code to begin with was that there
were a bunch of user-facing error cases that would be reported by
regproc_in/regprocedure_in, and we didn't want to clutter those error
reports with the underlying queries.

I'm not sure how I feel about changing this.  Making these queries subject
to ECHO_HIDDEN seems like we're exposing them to users to some extent
anyway, and maybe it's not worth dozens of lines of code (and duplicating
large parts of PSQLexec) to avoid the extra output.  On the other hand
this output doesn't seem very nice from a fit-and-finish standpoint.
